There's still something strange seeing 2000+ years in Greatest Hits titles, especially when they're entirely in this millennium. In fact, is adding years even still a thing these days?

The Bridge by Sting is only in at 27. Is it the beginning of the end for the plucky policeman?

Judging by its low position I thought this would have been a reissue or something but it turns out that it's an actual brand new Sting studio album! Where has his fanbase gone?! It can only have sold like 10,000 copies or something.

'just over 4,000'

Hall of the Wendigo fav Dua Lipa's Future Nostalgia had the number one album for the week of 15 May 2020 with sales of 7,317

Oh, oh, oh.

The sauce for the first one was just some guy on the internet, but the second was from Wackopedia, so the first one is probably less suspect.

Actually, looking at Sting's discography, he hasn't had a top 10 studio album since 2003, despite having released another seven of them! In 2003 and before that, every one of his studio albums was a top 10.

Chart positions go, from 2003-2021:

3
24
15
30

I wonder what happened between 2003 and 2006 for Sting to suddenly go from being a top 3 artist to a top 30 artist.

His albums?

Also bad(ish) news for Adele,

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-59430510

"Its 261,000 first-week chart sales mean it sped past the Swedish pop group's comeback album Voyage, which opened with 204,000 sales.
However, Adele's sales figures are significantly lower than those of her previous album 25, released in 2015.
That album, her third, opened with 800,000 first-week sales, which means 30 has sold 32% of its predecessor."

Shrinking faster than Adele, if these trends continue, uh hoo.

It's two days after that magical time of week.

There are no new entries in this week's Top 40.

And that means Easy on Me by Adele is still Number One on the UK singles chart.

Mariah Carey is at Number Three.

Wham are at Number Four.

There are 14 Christmas songs in the Top 40.

And at least 38 in the Top 100.

Now for the album chart.

Covers & Rarities by the Temperance Movement is in at 38.

Turning to Crime by Deep Purple is in at 28.

Brilliant Adventure (1992-2001) by David Bowie is in at 24.

Let It Be by the Beatles is up 41 places, to 22.

They now have two albums in the Top 40.
